We have found that histamine induces progression from heterologous to homologous desensitization of contraction under normal physiological conditions in smooth muscle of guinea pig taenia caeci. In this study, we characterized the development of histamine-induced desensitization under Ca 2+ -free conditions and we found that histamine developed only a homologous phase of desensitization to histamine with an increase in EC 50 values for histamine and basal tone. In contrast, histamine treatment reduced EC 50 values for a muscarinic agonist, carbachol, and depolarizing high K +. These results suggest that the failure of excess histamine to induce a normal Ca 2+ response under Ca 2+ -free conditions may lead to homologous desensitization to histamine with apparent hyper-reactivity of smooth muscles to cholinergic and depolarizing stimuli. We estimate that this characteristic of histamine to change smooth muscle contractility may be potentially involved in its physiological and pathophysiological aspects, including histamine-induced allergic conditions, depending on cellular circumstances. Key words G protein-coupled receptor; histamine H 1 receptor; homologous desensitization; heterologous desensitization; allergy; smooth muscle INTRODUCTION Cells or tissues undergo a process of desensitization upon stimulation with a receptor agonist for cellular adaptation or homeostasis. 1 4) Desensitization is divided into two types: 5 7) homologous desensitization, where only the signal from the stimulated receptor becomes attenuated, and heterologous desensitization, where not only the signal from the stimulated receptor but also that from the unstimulated receptor is attenuated. It is important to clarify the type of desensitization, i.e., homologous or heterologous, with respect to the selection of stimulation that should be refused. In the smooth muscle of guinea pig taenia caeci, histamine transiently induces heterologous desensitization in the initial stage followed by the predominant development of homologous desensitization to histamine under normal physiological conditions. 8) Thus, histamine is revealed to induce progression from heterologous to homologous desensitization in this smooth muscle preparation. Although Ca 2+ is known to play a crucial role in determining the development of carbachol-induced hishi@my-pharm.ac.jp desensitization in this smooth muscle, 9 10) it is unclear how such processes of histamine-induced desensitization are modiˆed by deprivation of Ca 2+.Wetherefore examined development of histamine-induced desensitization under Ca 2+ -free conditions. MATERIALS AND METHODS Measurement of Control Responses The experimental protocols of the present research were approved by the Institutional Review Board, Meiji Pharmaceutical University. Strips of taenia caeci were prepared from guinea pigs, weighing g, as described previously. 8) Themusclestripsweremaintained in normal Locke-Ringer solution (normal solution), ph7.8at30 C, with the following composition (mm): NaCl 154, KCl 5.6, CaCl 2 2.2, MgCl 2 2.1, NaHCO 3 6 and glucose 5.6. Contractions were induced cumulatively with histamine (10-8 to 10-4 M), carbachol (10-9 to 10-4 M) or isotonic K + -rich solution (high K + solution; 10 to 42 mm of K + ) at 30 C. High K + solution was prepared by increasing the concentration of KCl and correspondingly decreasing the concentration of NaCl. Histamine Pretreatment in the Absence of Extracellular Ca 2+ One hour after the control response
2 452 Vol. 130 (2010) was recorded, the muscle was preincubated with Ca 2+ -free solution (EGTA was added to normal solution at a ˆnal concentration of 0.2 mm, instead of adding Ca 2+ ) for 30 min. The muscle was then treated with 10-5 Mhistaminefor15s,30s,1min,2min,10min or30mininca 2+ -free solution. Measurement of Test Responses After histamine pretreatment, the muscle was washed with Ca 2+ -free solution and then with normal solution, and 10 min later contractions were recorded in normal solution. Contractions, without histamine pretreatment, were also measured after control responses were ˆrst recorded to statistically test the dišerences between responses with and without histamine pretreatment (shown as ``none'' or ``0 min'' in Figures). Concentration-response curves for histamine, carbachol or high K + were expressed as percentages of the maximal contraction of the control response, taking 0% as the baseline in the resting state measured just before the addition of stimulants for the control response. To assess histamine-induced changes in contractility, we measured changes in contractile responses to mid- and maximal concentrations of histamine, carbachol and K + as well as changes in the baseline (basal tone) and EC 50 values of these stimulants. Statistical Analyses Theresultsarepresentedas the mean±s.e.m. Statistical signiˆcance was evaluated by ANOVA (Stat View 5; Abacus Concepts, Inc., CA, USA). p<0.05 was considered signiˆcant. Materials We purchased histamine dihydrochloride, carbachol, potassium chloride and EGTA from Wako Pure Chemical Industries (Osaka, Japan). RESULTS Fig. 1.

Contractile Responses to Histamine Figure 1 (a) shows concentration-response curves for histamine before (control) and after pretreatment without (none) or with 10-5 M histamine for the indicated times in Ca 2+ -free solution. Changes in contractile responses to mid- and maximal concentrations of Mand10-4 M histamine as well as baseline and EC 50 values for histamine are shown in Fig. 1(b) and 1(c). Desensitization to histamine was observed as a reduction in contractile responses to Mand 10-4 M histamine concomitantly with increases in EC 50 values for histamine. Thus, histamine induced desensitization to histamine under Ca 2+ -free conditions. It is noted that histamine pretreatment tended to increase the baseline in a time-dependent manner. Contractile Responses to Carbachol We then examined how contractile responses to carbachol, which is known to induce smooth muscle contraction via the activation of G q/11 protein-coupled and Ca 2+ -
3 No mobilizing muscarinic M 3 receptors, might be modulated by histamine pretreatment in Ca 2+ -free solution (Fig. 2(a)). Histamine pretreatment induced no signiˆcant changes in contractile responses to mid- and maximal concentrations of 10-7 Mand10-4 Mcarbachol (Fig. 2(b)) but reduced EC 50 values for carbachol from 1 min to 30 min (Fig. 2(c)). Contractile Responses to High K + We then examined how contractile responses to depolarizing high K +, which is thought to induce smooth muscle contraction via the non-receptor-mediated activation of voltage-dependent Ca 2+ channels, might be modu- Fig. 2.

4 454 Vol. 130 (2010) lated by histamine pretreatment in Ca 2+ -free solution (Fig. 3(a)). Histamine pretreatment induced no signiˆcant changes in contractile responses to mid- and maximal concentrations of 20 mm and 42 mm K + (Fig. 3(b)) but signiˆcantly reduced EC 50 values for K + at 30 min (Fig. 3(c)). It is noted that reduction in EC 50 values for K + wasobservedtobemuchslower than that for carbachol. DISCUSSION Histamine-induced Development of Homologous Desensitization under Ca 2+ -free Conditions Histamine pretreatment under Ca 2+ -free conditions resulted in the simple development of homologous desensitization to histamine. The general mechanisms for homologous desensitization of G protein-coupled receptors have been thought to involve G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) that phosphorylate the activated form of receptors. 1 7) Since histamine H 1 receptor is known to be a substrate for GRK2, 11 13) it is most likely that the Ca 2+ -independent and simple development of homologous desensitization to histamine involves GRK-mediated processes. In contrast, Ca 2+ appears to play a crucial role in the induction of heterologous desensitization in this smooth muscle, since histamine failed to induce heterologous desensitization that was observed under Ca 2+ -containing normal physiological conditions. This is consistent with our previous ˆndings on Ca 2+ -dependent development of carbachol-induced heterologous desensitization in this smooth muscle. 8) In astrocytoma cells, we have found that Ca 2+ /calmodulin-mediated processes are involved in the initial process of histamine-induced desensitization to histamine ) It is possible that such Ca 2+ -dependent mechanisms are involved in the initial development of histamineinduced heterologous desensitization under normal physiological conditions. We postulate that the development of desensitization of G q/11 protein-coupled and Ca 2+ -mobilizing receptors is dually regulated by Ca 2+ -dependent heterologous and Ca 2+ -independent homologous mechanisms. 15) Histamine-induced Changes in Contractile Responses to Carbachol and High K + under Ca 2+ -free Conditions Interestingly, histamine pretreatment under Ca 2+ -free conditions reduced EC 50 values for carbachol and high K +. The rise in the baseline may be involved, at least in part, in these phenomena. It is possible that Ca 2+ restoration in the extracellular medium after histamine pretreatment under Ca 2+ - free conditions induced capacitative calcium entry so as to increase basal tone of the smooth muscle. 16) Since histamine-induced reduction in EC 50 values for carbachol occurred more rapidly than that for high K +, muscarinic receptor-mediated contractile pathways appeared to be ašected more easily than nonreceptor-mediated pathways. Although the precise mechanisms remain to be elucidated, we estimate that such properties of histamine to change contractility to cholinergic or depolarizing stimulation with the increase in basal tone may potentially contribute hyperreactivity under some allergic conditions, particularly when histamine fails to activate normal Ca 2+ signaling pathways. CONCLUSIONS Under Ca 2+ -free conditions, histamine was shown to develop homologous desensitization to histamine and reduce EC 50 values for cholinergic or depolarizing agents with an increase in basal tone. We estimate that such histamine-induced changes in cellular responsibility may play a crucial role in physiological homeostasis as well as pathophysiological aspects, including immediate allergy under uctuating circumstances.
